The Pause That Wouldn't Refresh Anything
A strong jobs report for May is sending the Dow and a bunch of sectors which have been lagging higher with rates and the Dollar. Meanwhile, tech, biotech, ARKK, and chips are mostly red as bulls continue to look for a "pause" in the rate hikes from The Fed later this month at the June 14th FOMC. Bulls also argue, alternatively, that even if...

It's Only Degeneracy When Charlie Munger Says it Is
I must say that I find it a bit rich (richer than a Dairy Queen Blizzard, indeed) to see a slew of articles in recent months with an, "aw, shucks" vibe about Charlie Munger's "Alibaba Mistake and how to learn from it!" In particular, Munger has been a sharp-tongued--unforgiving and even downright--critic of most things speculative, be it...

Check the Forecast Before Any More Bookings
Booking Holdings (BKNG), below on the daily chart, actually printed new all-time highs just two weeks ago. Since then, as you can see, the stock has headed straight downhill. Formerly Priceline.com, Booking has clearly been a monster winner since 2009 as one of the poster children for a QE/ZIRP world, and then the "stimmies" of the pandemic...

The Same Battlefield Formation
Surprise, surprise. Chips and NVDA are leading the charge higher, while small caps, retail and China names (KWEB ETF, e.g.) are all red as I write this. We have profiled these divergences quite a bit lately. And I recognize that tech bulls are simply responding with a, "So, what?" view to the whole deal. But my view that the move in NVDA and...

Where There's Smoke, There's...Divergences
Another day, another session of glaring divergences which bulls are clearly mocking due to shares of NVDA launching a rocket to the moon and trading about 25% higher as I write this. Still, small caps in the IWM ETF are down by nearly 1% right now after shedding 1% yesterday, and rates and the Dollar continue to push higher yet. High yield and...

When Pride Still Mattered
Back when pride still mattered even the most cutthroat of politicians would be willing to strike a bipartisan deal on something like the debt ceiling headed into a somber, flag waving holiday like Memorial Day weekend. But times are different now. And I have seen very few people even remark about trying to get a deal done lest we spoil the...

It's a Free Country, Brother
Last year I penned a blog post where I wrote that Starbucks had substantial downside. Clearly, that was wrong as the rally in 2023 as SBUX opened the year at $100.56 and went as high as $115.48 on May 1st. However, viewing the updated quarterly chart, below, as the great liquidity drain from markets has seen various long-term charts extend up...
